Thanks for for your help!

There already was a "Protocol 1" in ~/.ssh/config file.
However, it appeared *after* a "Hosts *cygnus.com" line,
which had been there for some time.  (Predumably it was
not there when I got things working in June.)  I did
not understand that it would cause the "Protocal 1"
to not be applicable.

I was able to fix this, and upload a new file to the
web site.  (I use the same ssh-agent I uses with
gcc.gnu.org, which is nice.) So that problem is solved.

Next I need to be able to update the ftp site.
Suggestions?

We will try to fix the ssh issue first. I checked and your
ssh public keys are stored properly on subversions.Therefore
it should work. If subversions.gnu.org asks you for a
password, it means that something is wrong. If it asks you
for a passphrase this is unrelated but I guess this is not
the case. 

I reckon the problem comes from the fact that you're using
ssh protocol 2. Subversion only supports ssh protocol 1. Can
you make sure that you use ssh protocol 1 ? Either by
specifying CVS_RSH=ss1 or by adding Protocol 1 to the
~/.ssh/config file. 

If this fails to work, please try to ssh -v
subversions.gnu.org and send the full output to
address@hidden 

You maybe had an account on various GNU machines but
apparently not on subversions.gnu.org. All shell accounts
were preserved, new accounts were created with a fake shell
that only allows to use cvs and rsync. If you want a regular
shell account on subversions.gnu.org, please let us know.

I apologize for the delay in the response, I simply
neglected the support requests during a month. Please don't
be too hard on address@hidden, we are all
volunteers doing this on our spare time.
